Recent focus is being targeted towards developing distributed solutions. This paper proposes a fast converging, distributed solution for secondary frequency control on the basis of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). For economic benefits the proposed solution integrates the use of rapid start (RS) units. Rapid start units are fast response and high ramp offline units, which can provide the reserve power in case of need. The proposed control scheme is a distributed solution to combine secondary frequency control, economic dispatch and the RS start up process. Finally, the developed algorithm is tested for a power system model on a real- Time co-simulation platform. The results show a fast converging algorithm that provides secondary frequency control compliant with ENTSO-E requirements, and the economical benefits of the inclusion of a rapid start unit.enADMMAGCEconomic dispatchRapid start unitIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.1109/MSCPES.2016.7480223Other
